A Monday morning fire at a home off Atlantic Boulevard and the Intracoastal Waterway is under investigation after it left two adults and a teen homeless, according to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department.

Firefighters were called to the home in the 1600 block of Bermuda Road at 10:30 a.m. to find heavy fire in a room and the car port, said fire department spokesman Tom Francis. The fire was under control in 15 minutes, but not before it caused heavy damage to the car port and one room.

The American Red Cross was called in to help the family as the investigation into the fire continues, Francis said.
